More Aras Innovator Pros →

"We did some research and chose CloudSuite because it has the flexibility to cover a range of areas. And there were many other factors like traceability, for example, which is crucial for food production.""Some valuable features include improved transparency in sales processes, which has been vital for our operations.""Infor CloudSuite Industrial is easy to setup. The built-in solution is already there, so we can start implementing it right away when we install it in an organization. After going through different test executions and workshops, any missing features can be added using Infor extension tables and other products. It will take at least eight to nine months to go live.""The customization capabilities of CloudSuite Industrial are also there.""Workflow management and collaboration tools enhance operations and facilitate seamless interaction among departments.""Infor's environment—ION and Infor OS—is better than SAP's. The load time is shorter and Infor performs much better than SAP.""It is a scalable solution.""The solution is particularly effective for ERP. The automation of emails is a valuable feature for me. The solution is stable. The solution is scalable. Infor CloudSuite Industrial is better for its development aspect. It allows us to customize and implement changes more efficiently. The initial setup was straightforward. I recommend the solution."

Cons
"Aras would also benefit from better integration with other systems.""Better Manufacturing BOM management would be valuable."

More Aras Innovator Cons →

"It takes time to properly learn what the product can do.""Currently, there are some challenges with handling large reports, possibly due to setup limits or issues with the solution.""There is room for improvement in the pricing. For us, it's the pricing aspect. Since we're South African, it's difficult when it's a dollar-based product.""Planning needs to be improved. That is, industry-specific planning details need to be added and refined.""Pricing is always an area where there is room for improvement.""The platform's distribution features need enhancement.""There should be better clarity and agreement on all interfaces and requirements before signing a contract. This would avoid unexpected costs and complications later on.""Infor needs to work on its documentation. For example, if I need to create a business object deployment from LVN to element, the instructions for this are insufficient. Many specific use cases aren't covered in the manual."

  • "It is a cost-effective solution."
  • "The platform's pricing depends on the specific number of users."
  • "As for pricing, I secured a favorable deal at around $80,000 yearly for five years, but it was a one-time opportunity."
